my conception of this blog has started to morph a bit. i started it as a reno blog, to document the progress on our house. but it quickly became more of a general blog as the work on our house became more sparse and stressful. now i'm starting to think of bookerstreet as something of a
scrap book. (as much as i hate that term, i can't seem to come up with a better way to describe what i mean.) commonplace book.
so today, in keeping with the scrap book theme, i feel i must post this image. i found it via designsponge, who in turn found it at print&pattern. it's a postcard by mocchi mocchi, and i adore the graphic. i hope it makes you as happy as it makes me!

these are my (elephant) ears. they make me giddy with joy every time i stumble onto the porch.

i spent the past weekend in baltimore - my new favorite city. i saw two games of the o's v. white sox series, received minor contusions from a major league foul ball (which is now mine); saw the police station where homicide: life on the street was set, ate brunch at the waterfront hotel (also known as the WTF Hotel, and another locale for homicide), and generally had a fantastic weekend exploring the clipper city. for some reason i didnt take any pics of the city or the waterfront - just the games. so here ya go:
this is the guy who fouled at me, ross gload. he hit a grand slam in friday night's sox win.
sunday's home run by jermaine dye. he hit one in saturday's game too.
and finally, me, intently watching the sox die a slow death on the last day of the series.
